Rivals back together again, a recent Chiefland Citizen sports feature, spotlights Chiefland's Joey Harris and Williston's D.J. Bowers. Harris is now at Florida International University playing football, and Bowers is at Santa Fe College in Gainesville. Longtime friends, former teammates and rivals on AAU and school baseball teams, both returned to Gainesville for the summer to reunite and rekindle their hopes of playing next-level baseball.
Harris and Bowers brought a selection of their old uniforms to the interview (conducted while Bowers was playing baseball for the Gainesville Braves), donning their old Williston Stingers threads (Bowers wore 8, Harris 99) and Williston and Chiefland unis. Harris had to borrow Chiefland head coach Kyle Parnell's number 44 jersey because the player who inherited his suit was out of town that weekend.
Shown in this pic with Bowers and Harris is Bowers' dad, Levy County Sheriff's Deputy Rob Bowers, who coached the pair on the Stingers.
